CHAPTER 323: CHAPTER 323: THE SLAUGHTER KING’S DESPAIR AND LAST RESORT

The Slaughter King was already struggling to defend against Xiao Yu’s attacks.

But then, a sharp cry echoed, and from the corner of his eye, he saw a terrifying emerald-green energy rapidly approaching.

The Slaughter King’s face changed dramatically.

He released all of his soul power without reservation.

If this attack hit him, he would die!! He would really die!!

"Wo Long, shoot him!"

Xiao Yu, seeing the pair of emerald-green scythes glowing like jade behind the Slaughter King, immediately recognized it as Bibi Dong’s killing move.

He then shouted to Wo Long.

"Roar!!"

Without hesitation, Wo Long unleashed a terrifying breath attack over fifteen meters in diameter, aimed directly at the Slaughter King!!

"No!! No!!"

Seeing the situation where he was trapped between a dragon and a tiger, the Slaughter King’s expression grew even more desperate.

Either of these attacks would leave him with a slim chance of survival if they hit him!

But now, both attacks were coming at him simultaneously!

This meant the Slaughter King was certain he was facing certain death!

In the face of absolute despair, the Slaughter King, hitting rock bottom, let out a ferocious roar.

"Bibi Dong, Xiao Yu, if you won’t let me live, then you won’t leave the City of Slaughter unscathed either!! I’ll be waiting for you in hell!!"

With that, the Slaughter King released his control over Tang Chen.

Almost immediately, Tang Chen awoke and, sensing the imminent danger, summoned the Asura God’s Sword.

"Boom!!"

The next moment, as soon as the words were spoken, Wo Long’s Light Breath and Bibi Dong’s Eternal Slash both struck the Slaughter King.

Despite the Slaughter King’s massive, two-meter-tall frame, he was like an ant compared to the fifteen-meter-wide Light Breath.

He was completely engulfed by the attack!

"Boom!!"

The collision of the three forces triggered a massive explosion.

The explosion swept through most of the inner City of Slaughter.

Purple, black, and red energy ran wild, swirling and flying through the air!

The Slaughter King’s Slaughter Maidens were all caught in the explosion, perishing in the aftermath.

The Slaughter King’s residence was also reduced to rubble, transformed from a building into flat ground!

The Hell Killing Arena, not far from the explosion, was completely destroyed. The participants and spectators inside were all annihilated, turned into nothingness.

Even some of the onlookers among the fallen were caught in the blast, suffering heavy casualties.

After this event, the inner City of Slaughter was in shambles. Only a handful of people were left alive and able to move around.

If no new fallen were sent in, the City of Slaughter would essentially be rendered useless.

Bibi Dong quickly flew to Xiao Yu’s side, looking at the near-ruined scene.

She took Xiao Yu’s large hand in her own small, cold one.

Xiao Yu also tightly grasped Bibi Dong’s hand.

"Xiao Yu, should we destroy the City of Slaughter completely? Since we’ve come this far, why not just wipe it out? It’s too much of a headache to deal with!"

Bibi Dong asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yu immediately refused.

"No, the City of Slaughter cannot be destroyed. It’s a perfect place to imprison those lawless fallen and evil soul masters. If we destroy it, where will those evil soul masters go to wreak havoc?!

For the entire continent, too many evil soul masters could form a new kind of faith. The way evil soul masters gain power is too simple, and few can resist such a quick path to strength! This new faith could plunge the continent into chaos.

Therefore, the City of Slaughter should continue to exist. It has rules that restrain evil soul masters. It’s much better to let them rot here than to release them into the world to cause havoc!

Besides, the Slaughter Domain here is a good thing, isn’t it? In the future, our descendants can come here to train! We just need to control the Slaughter King! Isn’t it much easier to manage evil soul masters by gathering them here than to hunt them down outside?"

Xiao Yu vividly remembered how rampant evil soul masters were in the era of Douluo Dalu II: The Unrivaled Tang Sect. At that time, the Holy Spirit Church, with power rivaling Shrek Academy, had emerged.

If not for Huo Yuhao’s protagonist halo, the Holy Spirit Church could have easily crushed Shrek Academy in the later stages.

Both Ma Xiaotao and Tang Ya were rising forces among the evil soul masters, while Shrek Academy, aside from Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong, was mostly filled with background characters.

Moreover, with the Holy Spirit Church’s Grand Elder embedded within Shrek Academy, without Huo Yuhao, Shrek would have been slaughtered.

Especially after Mu En’s death, the Holy Spirit Church’s higher-ups were no longer restrained or threatened. Combined with the fact that many forces already disliked Shrek Academy, if Douluo Dalu II didn’t have Huo Yuhao, Shrek Academy’s arrogance might have led to its demise before Douluo Dalu III.

"..."

Hearing Xiao Yu’s words, Bibi Dong nodded gently. Since her little man had such thoughts, there was no need for her to object.

"By the way, after this Slaughter King dies, who do you plan to make the next Slaughter King? The City of Slaughter is empty now, but without a Slaughter King to oversee it, things could get out of hand!"

Bibi Dong asked.

"I have someone in mind, but he’s too powerful. I’m afraid I won’t be able to control him!"

"That’s fine. I have good news. I just completed the Rakshasa God’s Seventh Trial and obtained the Rakshasa Scythe. The Rakshasa Scythe has an ability.

Anyone injured by it will be invaded by the Rakshasa God’s will, gradually eroding their consciousness until they are completely controlled, both body and mind!"

Hearing this, Xiao Yu’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed in admiration.

"Oh?! Such an ability? Impressive, my, Dong’er! Then it’s settled. After we finish off the Slaughter King below, we’ll start preparing to control the next Slaughter King."

"Huh? What, you mean the Slaughter King isn’t dead after our combined attacks?"

Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Yu in surprise, puzzled.

"Ding!"

However, before Xiao Yu could respond, a blood-red light pierced through the golden-hued smoke that had yet to dissipate.

Sensing this aura, Bibi Dong’s face changed dramatically.

She immediately went on high alert, staring at the blood-red light below.

At the same time, within the blood-red light, Bibi Dong sensed an aura no weaker than Qian Daoliu’s.

Finally, under the glow of the blood-red light, the thick smoke, dotted with golden light, quickly dispersed.
